I am SO happy to say that I have found the primal way of living now!  I feel just as good as I did when I was just eating fruits and greens…but now I can actually socialize with people over food!

I am blood type A and also don’t do well on grains.  I tried following D’adamo quite a few years ago and it seemed to work for a bit, but didn’t last.  I am now loving the primal lifestyle!

Actually, corporatism is alive and well. When there’s this much control, it becomes harder and harder to vote with our dollars.

It’s up to the little guys – like Karen and her blogging efforts, as well as activists like you posting links like the ones you supplied – to get the word out. Maybe that’s why so many “journalists” in the MSM hate bloggers. It’s a safe bet that Monsanto, ADM, etc, spend a lot of money advertising at corporate media sites.

Yes, we all know what Monsanto is doing with plants and seeds, but the latest evil endeavor of theirs is reaching new heights. The world market for pigs is beaucoup billions of dollars. Monsanto now is attempting to get patents on all pigs on the planet, that is, except for those porkers in Washington feeding at the public trough or the Monsanto pigs. This hideous abomination finds farmers committing suicide here and abroad. In India they are drinking Monsanto herbicide to kill themselves. The patenting of pigs is all about control, so that Monsanto can own all the cattle and keep every farmer indebted to Monsanto 24/7. Reminds me of the old mob movies with Joe Bonanno but now it stars Joe Monsanto. If this isn’t extortion I don’t know what is. In short, they’ve a license to attach a fee to every farmer’s piglets.

Note W’s face in this video around 25.10 where he gets that ballistic, bullying look on his beer bloated face that wreaks of ‘we will force you guinea pigs to eat our pigs, for we want to be filthy rich pigs and dominate the pig market”, as he speaks to Europeans. Adding to the insanity, is that GMO plants and feeds fed to pigs are actually hindering their ability to conceive. Keep that up and the pork chops and dry rubbed ribs we all love, could go the way of the extinct dodo bird. Europeans especially farmers have yet another reason to hate america as they get pressured by our govt and monsanto to tow the mad mark. Listen with shock to american farmers who meet with the USDA, the EPA and other govt entities only to be scoffed at. Now the Chinese, the Danes and others are racing to get a DNA pig patent as well. All want to create a ‘super pig’, an ironic attempt in light of a declining pig population as a result of GMO feedlots. These sickos will have to grow some pretty dam big pigs to make up for the dwindling supply they are killing off. They will have to be the sort of supersized variety of PIGS who are altering our food supply and threatening our very existence. You can watch this worthwhile video good for around 40 minutes, some of it in subtitles when in European countries.

Your post reminds me of a news article about a Sierra Club resort where they pumped raw sewage into a stream, and did all other types of horrid environmental destruction.

Yet one has to go to Mercola’s site to find this stiff.

Eat Big Agra food – it’s all safe. Yeah, right.

Monsanto has been screwing small farmers for quite some time. Asshats.

Secretly discharging PCB-laden toxic waste into an Alabama creek, and dumping millions of pounds of PCBs into open-pit landfills for decades after PCBs were banned in the US for being a possible carcinogen.

Being found guilty of bribery to bypass Indonesian law requiring an environmental assessment review for its genetically engineered cotton.
Last year, the supreme court of France found Monsanto guilty of falsely advertising its herbicide Roundup as “biodegradable” and “environmentally friendly.” Scientific evaluation discovered that glyphosate, the active ingredient in RoundUp, is acutely toxic to fish and birds and can kill beneficial insects and soil organisms that maintain ecological balance. Additionally, the surfactant ingredient in Roundup is more acutely toxic than glyphosate itself, and the combination of the two is even more toxic.
In 2007, the South African Advertising Standards Authority also found Monsanto guilty of lying when advertising that “no negative reactions to Genetically Modified food have been reported.”
According to one EPA scientist, Monsanto doctored studies and covered-up dioxin contamination of a wide range of its products. She concluded that the company’s behaviour constituted “a long pattern of fraud.” The
New York Times exposed Monsanto’s PR firm, Burson Marsteller, paid fake “pro-GMO” food demonstrators to counteract a group of anti-biotech protesters outside a Washington, DC FDA meeting.” To read even more disturbing news of Monsanto.. http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2010/0118/americas-best-company-10-gmos-dupont-planet-versus-monsanto.html

Most likely have starved their brains and aren’t getting enough B vitamins and amino acids in their diet.

Couple that with the fact that they often consume soy protein isolate instead of meat, and are likely getting aluminum poisoning from that agribusiness “tested and approved” soy product.

It’s noteworthy that almost no animal will eat many of these soy products. Seems they can tell the stuff isn’t good for them, but humans can’t. Just flavor it right, call it a Tofurkey or some other name, and the vegans will eat it right up, and pat themselves on the back for not killing an animal. (Nevermind that millions of animals, birds, etc are killed and displaced by agribusinesses, and that everything else they consume effects animals in some way.

Do a Google search for Soy Protein Isolate dangers. Pretty creepy. But don’t worry – it’s approved by agri-giant ADM.

The who vegan thing reminds me of a saying about environmentalism – An environmentalist is someone who had their cabin built in the forest LAST year…

Q. How do you know if you’re talking to a vegan?
A. THEY’LL TELL YOU!

Some of the most revolutionary aspects of the primal diet:

* Reduce or eliminate carbs.  This should be obvious but I used to cling to the idea that I needed X amount of carbs to make the fat burn.  Now I’ve found that carbs are just a drag unless you’re going for more than an hour of high-intensity workout per day, which should be rare.  No carbs means no insulin response which means feeling great all the time!

* Fill up on protein and saturated fat.  Bacon!  Butter!  Whole eggs, not just the whites!  Coconut in all its splendid applications!  Being able to dig on delicious fat completely makes up for carb cravings.

* Eat vegetables as the main bulk of your diet.  Replace grains, legumes, even fruit, any part of your dish that was carb-rich, with dark green leafy stuff.  You can’t get enough.  I used to loathe vegetables back when I was a carb addict.  Now I seek them out like Pac-Man.

I used to be chronically hungry from trying to restrain my diet, but after going primal I eat to bursting and yet the fat has simply melted away.  The irony is at first I thought the primal lifestyle would be a chore and the food no fun.  But my tastes changed subtly as I rediscovered the lifestyle to which our species is genetically adapted.  I only wish I’d learned all this sooner, but at 33, I feel I still have a good sixty years left to enjoy the paleo life, if I don’t get stepped on by a mastodon.

Folks, if you haven’t followed Karen’s link to Mark Sisson’s blog, I couldn’t recommend it more strongly.

Thanks, Karen, for your inspiring example, and for taking a hatchet to the CW in your always inimitable style.
